Commonly Asked Questions About 3000 Piece Puzzles

Do you have a question about our 3000 piece puzzles? Check out our FAQ below!

How big is a 3000 piece puzzle?

While the exact dimensions of each of our 3000 piece jigsaw puzzles vary depending on the shape of the puzzle and the size of the pieces, most are about 32-1/4" x 45-1/4". If you need something smaller or simpler, however, many of our 3000 piece puzzle designs can also be purchased as 300 piece, 500 piece, or 1000 piece puzzles!

How many edge pieces are in a 3000 piece puzzle?

In a 3000-piece puzzle, you can expect to find around 96 edge pieces. These specially shaped pieces form the border of the puzzle and provide a helpful starting point for assembling the larger picture.

How long does it take to complete a 3000 piece jigsaw?

To answer this question, there are a few different factors that need to be considered. One is the puzzler's skill level, which will play a large role in how quickly a big project like one of our 3000 piece puzzles can be completed. Another is the level of detail in the image which can make construction more or less difficult. For example, an animal jigsaw puzzle with various distinct animals is probably going to be easier to finish than a landscape puzzle with lots of large, monochromatic sections (a big snowy hill, a grassy field, a wide open sky, etc.).

How should you tackle a puzzle of this size?

If you're not sure where to start, one common first step is to flip every piece face-up and group the edge pieces together so the frame can be completed first. Next, try dividing the non-edge pieces up by color and working on the puzzle section by section. Having a well-lit work space and a puzzle organizer is especially helpful when dealing with puzzles featuring 1500 pieces or more.
